The quality of life in cities has never been more significant. Faced with unprecedented levels of urbanisation, it’s a challenge that every city must rise to.
A century ago less than 10% of the world’s population lived in cities. By 2050 that figure will be over 75%. Many of those who live in the city will be citizens of ‘mega cities’ in emerging economies, vast urban landscapes with populations over 20 millions. Others will reside in mature cities that have adapted to meet the needs of the post-industrial age. Faced with this unparalleled expansion, city authorities recognise the need to re-humanise the urban environment.
Over the past decade, the city.people.light project has explored how light can enrich our urban experience. We’ve discovered that design, technology and lighting effects are vital ingredients in personalising and humanising cities, simplifying the urban setting and fostering a sense of well-being and pride. By revisiting 168 inspiring projects we hope to encourage ever more creative and original ways to enhance lives with light in the years to come.
Urbanisation and quality of life
city.people.lightUrban lighting is more than just a means of ensuring security and visibility. It is the very essence of a city’s night-time beauty. We believe that’s something worthy of recognition.
The international city.people.light award was set up jointly in 2003 by Philips Lighting and LUCI (Lighting Urban Community International). It rewards towns or cities that best demonstrate the added value that lighting can give to an area’s cultural and architectural heritage and night-time identity whilst at the same time respecting the environment.
Every year we invite entries from outstanding lighting projects that bring together the notions of ‘city’, ‘people’ and ‘light’ to re-humanise the urban landscape. Not only should they push intellectual and creative boundaries, they should also explore ways to respect the environment. The contest is open to urban lighting projects completed less than two years prior to entry in the contest. All we ask is that the lighting is of a permanent nature and visible to all citizens free of charge.

Created in 2002 at the initiative of the city of Lyon, the LUCI network has been, for the past 8 years, accompanying and inspiring cities’ ever-increasing interest in using light for their sustainable urban development.
Through its international meetings and projects, LUCI enables cities across the world to exchange technical know-how, competences and experiences in a domain that is in constant technological evolution and that has ever-growing spheres of application.
The city.people.light award, launched in partnership with Philips at the creation of the LUCI network, plays a key role in this exchange, with its capacity to promote best practices and innovative uses of light.
This role is demonstrated through the 168 remarkable projects presented in this book, which revisit the past 8 years of existence of the prize that has today become a real benchmark in the lighting world.
These projects, in the spirit of the principles of our LUCI Charter on Urban Lighting, also represent the exemplary use of light that LUCI promotes: one that contributes to the attractiveness of cities, their sustainable growth and the quality of life of their inhabitants.
Jean Michel DaclinDeputy Mayor of Lyon, Honorary President of LUCI
LUCI: a network for cities and light
city.people.light is our inspirational initiative to demonstrate how life can simply be enhanced with light. It is a powerful idea that has captured the imagination of lighting professionals.
As the world’s leader in lighting, Philips aims to shape the urban landscape with exciting new applications and ground-breaking solutions which simply enhance life with light. It is why we began city.people.light as a research project in 1996: the themes and concepts that came out of that project were so powerful, they inspired lighting professionals all over the world to enrich their own work in urban lighting installations.
Today, many of those original visionary concepts have been translated into urban lighting solutions that have transformed our view of the city at night. They have also inspired many more, encouraging lighting designers and architects to think beyond creative and intellectual boundaries to produce ever more innovative and exciting solutions which respond to the key trends in city living.
This book celebrates the remarkable and creative effort lighting professionals the world over have employed to explore the relationship between city, people and light. It is a fitting tribute to the people who are transforming urban environments with light, enhancing the city experience and, ultimately, making our cities more livable.

Ghent, Belgium“ The city had banned cars from the Saint Michael’s quarter and the adjacent former medieval harbour Gras- and Korenlei, in the heart of Ghent. With the quays lowered, bringing people closer to the water, and the monuments and bridges restored, urban life has taken over rapidly, making the site ‘the place to be’ for young and old. Citizens, strollers, students, sunbathers, book lovers, street musicians, cyclists and tourists now enjoy the wonderful façades and their reflection in the water. At evenfall, the Ghent Lighting Strategy transforms the area into a breathtaking site - it has become the showpiece of the illuminated Ghent, marrying poetry, functionality, increased sense of security and rational energy use.” Mrs. Martine De Regge, Deputy Mayor for Public Works and Rational Energy Use

Holmbladsgade, Copenhagen, Denmark“ In Holmbladsgade, the public lighting has been used as a creative design element to improve the nocturnal urban scenery and the somewhat tainted reputation of the township. The main challenge was to create a varied, cheerful, experimental and artistic experience in a moving and poetic lighting landscape that makes the main street of the neighbourhood stand out. The residents living and walking in the township absolutely feel we’ve achieved that. From a monotonous and boring public lighting to a concept of lighting with “water” as its main theme. Art and function, poetry, aesthetics and surprise combine in a street that renews its identity and indeed has increased the quality of outdoor life. The lights of Holmbladsgade have become a pleasure to the eyes – as is music to the ears.” Bjarne Schläger, Architect MAA
Second placeProject type: • A comprehensive lighting plan for
Holmbladsgade • Catenary, wall-mounted, recessed

Project coordination: Emanuele Pulvirenti, Architect
Lighting design: Pietro Maria CastiglioniCaltagirone, Sicily, Italy
The 17th century Scala di Santa Maria del Monte, is a unique staircase with 142 steps, each covered in painted ceramic tiles. Pietro Maria Castiglioni’s lighting design uses a combination of floodlights, subtle “zebra stripe” effects and brightly lit side alleys to emphasise the length of the staircase and give it an even more magical feel at night. The project has transformed Santa Maria del Monte and given residents and tourists a wonderful space to enjoy at night.

Leipzig, GermanyThe Pleisse, Elster, Parthe and Luppe rivers and canals had been significant landmarks in Leipzig until 1950. Polluted and subsequently filled in, they became a long-forgotten feature of the urban landscape until the New River Banks association re-opened and re-designed them in 1991. These stunningly lit waterways are now an integral part of the city’s urban development plan. A modern and daring concept that underlines the theme of water in a subtle, yet balanced way.
„ Pleiße ans Licht !“ (Expose the river Pleiße to light!) this demand was one of the first slogans of a growing civil and environmental movement in Leipzig which concluded in the Peaceful Revolution in Autumn 1989. Until the 50s the mill races of Pleiße and Elster were significant landmarks in the urban fabric. But due to industrial pollution they were covered up and disappeared from the city’s landscape. As candle light is the symbol of the Peaceful Revolution, so the illumination of the river projects became a symbol for a new common sense of urban equality in Leipzig.” Burkhard Jung, Mayor of Leipzig
Second placeProject type: Illumination of the waterways in Leipzig

San Luis Potosi, Mexico“ San Luis Potosi is a city protected by the altitude of the platform of the surrounding tropical jungle (The Huasteca), the desert and the mountains. The most intensive and incredible experience for lighting design is the city itself, reducing the energy consumption by an average of 40%, installing around 7500 luminaries, 6 centralised computerised control panels, thousands of metres cables and components and rebuilding the night life of the city. Under the support of the lighting master plan, the programmes for gardens, stone recovery, façade and urban furniture, integration of the tourism infrastructure, promotion of outdoor events, development of new commercial and cultural activities and gentle hosting light festivals macro projections, all resulting in the recovery of the essence and night nature of the city as a Living Light Organism.” Gustavo Avilés - Lighting Designer

Seoul, South KoreaLost and forgotten parts of the city were given a fairytale makeover after dark in this adventurous project to re-humanise the urban environment. This effort to bring nature back to the city combines harmonious and entertaining landscape design with a magical interplay between water, light and shade.

“ With a view to making Seoul a paradigm for the twenty-first century urban management, focusing on creating a human-oriented and sustainable eco-friendly urban environment, the Seoul Metropolitan Government dismantled the 6 kilometer-long Cheonggyecheon Elevated Freeway. It opened up Cheonggyecheon by removing its concrete covering, thus restoring the creek to its original condition and turning it into a natural stream of clean water, which is inhabited by 631 living creatures and plants and is equipped with an eco-friendly lighting system. Cheonggyecheon has now become a tourist attraction being visited by 52,000 tourists per day (cumulative total of visitors to date: approximately 100,400,000). The policy pursued by the Seoul Metropolitan Government is one aimed at designing Seoul into a city that makes its residents happy and one that is the world.

St Gallen, SwitzerlandThird prize was awarded to the city of St Gallen. The red carpet brings people onto the street and invites them to experience the city as a combination of both private and public spaces. The concept was implemented beautifully with careful attention paid to different lighting effects. At dusk a homely lounge light is created by using floating, organic bubbles on the “ceiling” that fluoresce in different colours. This can be switched over to broad, radiating light when the area is used as a thoroughfare.

Jyväskylä, FinlandJyväskylä is a superb example of how an integrated approach to lighting can stimulate exciting and sustainable urban development. The “City of Light” project uses brilliant white and blue light to highlight architectural gems and create optical guidance. The jury particularly appreciated the subtle use of light and shade in more intimate public spaces and parks where light is in direct touch with people.
“ The city of Jyväskylä carries through high-quality lighting projects to set an example for the city’s inhabitants and cooperation partners. Lighting has gradually become a very important part of all urban environment planning in Jyväskylä. Investments are being made in developing the city’s lighting systems so that the correct use of light creates security, is scenically valued and takes environmental effects into consideration. In the near future we will also focus on saving energy. The goal is to achieve a 20% cut in the total energy consumption used for public lighting in Jyväskylä, and our target is to be the forerunner in outdoor lighting systems. Welcome and enjoy Jyväskylä, the City of Light!”

Hangzhou, ChinaThe Grand Canal, constructed between 481 B.C. and 722 A.D. spans 1,794 kilometres to link Beijing and Hangzhou, is still playing an important role in main water transportation.
In November 2007, with the expectations of transforming the night-time image of the city, improving the urban nocturnal living environment and showing tourists the particular charm of the historical waterway, Hangzhou’s authorities selected the Grand Canal site to renovate its lighting and to create an original nightscape.

Lucerne, SwitzerlandLucerne, the City of Lights, lives up to its name with this elegant, less is more approach to illumination. A nocturnal scene is painted with authentic, natural lighting that transforms the city into a sustainable urban experience for everyone. Sophisticated and beautifully understated, it brings out the city’s unique character. The project also recognises the importance of darkness, respecting it perfectly so that residents can drift off peacefully to sleep at night.

This incredible lighting design uses illumination, dynamic images and subtle effects to reveal the magnificence of its recently renovated architecture.
